Celeb style hair styles

Ever wished for hair styles that look like all of the celebs in magazines? If you are willing to put  the effort in, you can make it happen! the article below offers excellent tips on getting the healthy hair that you want.

You want to brush your hair so the important oils move along the hair shaft. When you begin brushing, start towards your scalp and work tangles out gradually as you work down. This will help you move the natural oils around.

If you need to blow dry your hair, do not concentrate it in one area. Instead, move it around. This will help keep the heat from damaging your hair.

To maintain healthy hair, avoid utilizing a blow dryer as much as you can. Due to the heat that hits your hair directly from a blow dryer, your hair can become damaged. If you towel dry your hair, pat it dry rather than rubbing it vigorously.

Use a hair mask in your home to get great looking hair. You could mix eggs with a ripe avocado fruit. Massage the concoction into your hair, and let it sit about 20 minutes before rinsing it out. When the time is up, take care to rinse the mask out of your hair thoroughly. The avocado provides minerals and also fatty acids that help add shine to your hair.

Deep condition extremely dry hair. There are conditioning treatments out there that will help your dry, brittle hair. Make sure you dampen your clean hair. Next, saturate your hair with a rich conditioning product and gently distribute it throughout. Once the conditioner has been absorbed, don a plastic cap, then wait for a half hour while the conditioner soaks into your hair. Wash and rinse your hair completely for more moisture in your hair.

To get your hair in better condition and make it stronger, try not to use too many hand-held drying devices. Over time, curling irons, flatirons and blow dryers can cause damage that leads to frizz and breakage. Try giving your hair a little break from the heat here and there.

One way to protect your hair from sun damage is to use hair care products that include sunscreen. The sun can damage hair and decrease any benefits you will see from your hair care routine. By protecting your hair, not only will you keep it healthy, but you will also keep it looking beautiful.

Reduce the stress in your life. It may seem like stress and hair are unrelated, but stress can actually affect your hair’s health. People with too much stress in their lives can lose a lot of hair and it can become damaged. Get plenty of sleep and schedule ample relaxation time in order to reduce your stress.

If you enjoy wearing your hair in one ponytail, don’t put the ponytail in one spot every time. Stress can occur in your hair even when using soft scrunchies. This stress can lead to breakage over time. Try letting your hair down in your off hours to let your hair rest.

Try switching to a pillowcase made of silk or satin to protect curly hair. Cotton pillowcases absorb the oil and moisture from your hair. You can wake up with your hairdo still intact by sleeping on a satin pillowcase. You could also use a scarf or a satin bonnet as well.

Everyone should learn the right way to take care of their hair. Everyone can benefit from getting some reliable hair care advice. Almost all people have hair, and therefore will want to know more about managing it. You should be generous when it comes to sharing everything you know about caring for hair.

Wash and Style Wednesday….Carol’s Daughter Olive Oil Infusion

Although I’ve been relaxer free for about 8 years now, I’ve still been using heat occasionally and coloring my hair. However, this summer I gave up on my trying to go blonde and decided to dye my hair back to its natural dark brown shade. Unfortunately, the intense summer heat changed my hair to a auburn shade that I don’t want. So, I’m dying my hair, yet again. I don’t want to, because my hair is getting thicker and drier by the day. Hopefully, this will be the last time I dye my hair for awhile and I can begin trying to “baby” and nurture my hair.

The first thing I plan to do is buy and try Carol’s Daughter’s Olive Oil Infusion kit. It’s a softening and detangling kit that’s great for most hair types, including my colored and heat damaged hair. The kit comes Khoret Amen Hair Oil and Hair Smoothie. Everyone knows that olive oil is an amazing product to use on dry hair, so this sounds perfect to me right now. Also, I’m loving the $25 price tag.

Kitsch Hair Ties

I’m currently in the process of growing my hair, which can be quite annoying. The reason is because I can only tolerate my hair hanging down for so long, before I reach for something to put it up in an usually up and messy bun (I love messy buns!)

However, I’m over having to keep those boring and black elastic ties on my wrist. Enter Kitsch. Kitsch makes hair ties, but not just any hair, but they can also double as cute bracelets thanks to the plethora of prints and fabrics they offer. I’m almost certain that any outfit you and your closet can concoct, Kitsch has a tie that will match it muy perfecto!

Solange Transitions with Carol’s Daughter

Aside for me being known as an artist, fashionista, and little sis to King Bee, she is also known for her head of big hair. People still might remember when she did the big chop and cut off all her hair. I loved it, but could never do it. Instead, I opted to transition in little steps by growing a nice length of new growth before I did the “Big Chop”. That whole time was probably one of the most difficult times for me and my hair.

Transitioning your hair from relaxed to natural was a BIG thing to do 7 years ago when I did it, because there wasn’t that much info and products out there to makes that big moment easier. Well, that’s all about to change for thise of you who have decided to go natural, thanks to Carol’s Daughter.

Carol’s Daughter recently introduced their Relaxed to Natural Hair Solution Kit.

“This easy 3-step kit offers a solution to the 3 problems transitioners face: product build-up, scarred scalp & breakage at the points of demarcation. Now big choppers, long grow-outs and protective stylers can transition from relaxed to natural hair with less shedding, a healthier scalp and softer hair.” according the brand’s website.

Oh, how I wish this was available when I was transitioning, because I dealt with ALL of those issues and had the hardest time dealing with them. Luckily, I was able to tackle them, but not as easy if this kit was around back then.

Check out Carol’s Daughter’s campaign for the Relaxed to Natural Hair Solution kit featuring…oh…Solange. You like how I tied that bow? lol. Anyway, check out the video below.

Shopping Chronicles….Hair Therapy

My hair and I are in battle to achieve our desired color. A couple of months ago, I was all about going a nice bright, but natural red. However, the day after Christmas, actually 7am on the day after Christmas I decided that I wanted to go honey blonde. I was so adamant about that decision that I actually got out of bed and went to Walgreens to buy a box of dye.

Unfortunately, I since my hair still had red in it, the color didn’t take. So, I conditioned my hair religiously for a week and then applied a slightly brighter blonde shade. That, my friends, made the red in my hair MORE vibrant. Actually, it was the shade of red I was initially trying to obtain. Figures. Still, I’m sticking to my quest for honey blonde hair. So, in order for me to stay on this path, as I type this, I’m dying my hair back to natural brown. After that, I will be able to try this blonde ambition plan.

So, I’m going to have to give my hair a ish load of hair therapy with deep conditions and extra moisture. Hence, I’ve been picking up hair products to help keep my hair healthy on this pursuit for honey blonde tresses. Here are some recent items I picked up to help me on this journey.

  • Hask Placenta Plus HENNA n’ PLACENTA with Olive Oil – Pretty good. I’ve only used it once, but so far so good. It’s creamy and very moisturizing, which my thirty hair loves.
  • Fantasia Frizz Buster Silky Smooth Hair Straightening Cream – I ADORE the serum version of this! So, when I saw that there was water-based cream version, I had to buy it. The verdict is still out on this.
  • Motions Oil Sheen – Just your typical oil sheen. I usually buy the olive oil sheen, but decided to try something different.
  • Protectiv Healthy Ends – I love this stuff! I’ve mentioned it a few times on here before. So, the love is still here. (p.s. Don’t let the price in the link fool and scare you. I usually pay around $6 for it at random beauty supply stores. However, I would possible pay the 9, because I love this stuff)
